Denmark summons US diplomat over alleged Greenland influence campaign | Greenland

Denmark called on an emergency meeting on an alleged influence campaign in Greenland, on an alleged impact campaign aimed at shaping the future of the North Pole region.

The Danish Media comes after the Danish Foreign Ministry, approved by Donald Trump and the White House, at least three US men were accused of trying to infiltrate the Greenland community.

According to the publisher DR, the activities of Trump -backed Greenland citizens, including the compilation lists, are closely monitored by the Danish government, which is understood to be aware of “foreign agents and actors” trying to shape the public in Greenland.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen condemned the alleged plan on Wednesday and said it was “completely unacceptable”. He said: “It is important that we have an idea about this, so our population – this applies to both Greenland and Denmark – he can see what we are against.”

Rasmussen said that with the support of Washington in Greenland, a foreign influence campaign would be contrary to all international rules.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that he took the allegations “very seriously”. “Any intervention in the internal affairs in the Danish Kingdom and Greenland Democracy is unacceptable,” he said. “I say that the Americans do not explicitly deny that the situation is as DR today. And this is of course serious.”

Donald Trump has been threatening to buy Greenland since his assignment, to carry tensions between Denmark and the United States to unprecedented levels. The old Danish colony is part of the Danish Kingdom, although it is now autonomous, except for the foreign and security policy controlled by Copenhagen.

With an unusual movement aimed at emphasizing the gravity of the situation, Denmark’s highest -level officer will participate in the meeting.

The accusation was called in the absence of US Ambassador Ken Howry, who has not yet been approved by Trump’s US Senate. A date for his arrival in Copenhagen has not yet been approved, but Howery, the founding partner of PayPal, is a friend of Elon Musk and the Swedish Ambassador under Trump’s first rule, is expected in the Danish capital in October.

According to DR, three anonymous American men are accused of trying to penetrate Greenland society to weaken Danish through what he describes as “infiltration” and “influence operations”.

One of them allegedly compiled a list of Trump supporters, and Trump was reportedly open to the public many times. He is also accused of creating a list of those who do not support the President of the United States and making advice on issues in the US media on issues that “put Denmark into a bad light”. These include the forced abolition of Greenland children by the Danish officials and a separate scandal on the forced contraception of Greenland women on Wednesday, where Frederiksen has long been expected to apologize on Wednesday.

Two other Americans, who have reported that their activities were reported to be concerned about Danish authorities, have previously worked under Trump and are known to have traveled frequently from the USA to Greenland.

A source of government, together with the population of the capital, Nuuk Approximately 20,000 people, “Wandering around and doing it quite open”.

A series of high -profile Americans, who have political connections and businessmen, flocked to Nuuk since Trump’s election.

In January, Donald Trump JR participated in the political activist Charlie Kirk, who founded Turning Point Usa, a pro -Trump conservative organization. In March, Drew Horn, General Manager of Greenmet, a member of the first Trump administration and a Washington DC -based mineral investment company Greenmet before Greenland’s elections in March, said that it was “tens of billions” dollars ready to invest in Greenland. Tom Dance, Trump’s former Arctic commissioner and an investor, described Greenland as a “really border indeed”. None of the men were involved by the Danish authorities.

Aaja Chemnitz, a member of the Danish Parliament Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA), said that the latest reports reflect the US efforts. “We have seen that they have been trying to influence the people of Greenland before, of course Greenland politicians. This is just a continuation of this.”

However, he said he did not see any evidence of impact on people’s views. “I don’t think this was working. The people of Greenland became an object for people who have been trying to impress us for years.”

He said that life for the people of Greenland continues to be worse than Danish people living in the Danish Kingdom as a result of inadequate investment and historical injustices against the Inuit people.

Although the United States said that when it comes to investment in Greenland, it remained on the “table ,, Trump’s words about acquiring Greenland – if necessary, had an impact. Greenland said he was “much more skeptical than the previous one against the United States.”

Greenland’s Greenland’s political parties, the most Trump -friendly opposition party Naleraq’a leading Pele Brroberg, the allegations of the previously reported previously reported by the previously reported by the diplomatic conflict, he said.

“We shouldn’t talk to anyone except Denmark? We don’t understand what the big problem is right now,” he said.

He claimed that the White House is trying to influence the views in Nuuk, he added: “But I know, Denmark, French and German governments are trying to influence the Greenland government every day… This is as usual.”

This Denmark has called US charges for the second time since Trump took office. In May, this kind of first meeting reported that US intelligence organizations were ordered to increase espionage in Greenland.

The US State Department did not respond immediately to the request for comments.

“Individual US citizens may have interests in Greenland. The US government does not control or manage the actions of private citizens.”

The United States said that “Vice President, Vice President and Foreign Minister said that he valued relations with Greenland and Danish governments:“ The US respects the right to determine the future of the people of Greenland. ”
